Happy New Year!

One more year gone to the history books. I could easily say "good riddance" but I did accomplish a few things in 2009. I managed to re-connect with more family and friends. (The much maligned FB gets a lot of credit for this one.) I have been notoriously lazy about keeping in touch. I believe I treasure my relationships more these days. (I must be getting old--LOL) I actually completed a 5K--walked but did it. I also managed to take a real vacation and see the Grand Canyon and eat my first In-N-Out burger. I also managed to lose some weight. Even though I have gained some of it back (see comment about In-N-Out). I did accomplish it.

I also realized that I got lost somewhere along the line. I've been really just getting by and that's no fun. I'm in the process of finding myself again. I'm going to do a lot of things that I enjoy but no longer do.

Now for 2010. I have actually made goals--not resolutions--actual goals. I refuse to post them here. I probably should but I'm just not ready for that. We'll see how that works.

Now let's see if I can get the Christmas decorations down by Monday. Wish me luck!!!

Black Friday

I cannot believe I'm not out on Black Friday. I'll have to admit it is fun but is there really anything that I need bad enough to fight the crowd? Besides, I have plenty to do here at home.

Happy Thanksgiving


I truly have a lot to be thankful for this year. Just looking at my blog brings to mind my wonderful vacation this year without a glitch! I also have wonderful family and friends who I enjoy and who are always there with love and support. I've really enjoyed re-connecting with so many people. I am notorious for not keeping in touch so I'm now having a blast doing that.

So many people have so little these days it really makes us look at the non-monetary things that have to be thankful for. Things like a beautiful Texas sunset or the gorgeous Arizona desert or that big beautiful hole in the ground in northern Arizona. It may be something as simple as waking up with a home, food, and a job or simply waking up period.

We all need to remember that Thanksgiving is about more than the food, more than the football....

Check out the Texas Pumpkin Pie. What a surprise treat!

Beautiful fall day at TMS. Love the infield. Missed the TV commentary. Learned to use Twitter for updates.

Mobile pictures

I am in the process of uploading my mobile phone photos. They might end up either here on the blog or on Picasa (Google's photo site). They just aren't looking good on Snapfish. I think the resolution is too small for Snapfish and they look awful there. We'll see....
